Strawberries from the Garden
Apr 16, 2011
Spring has sprung!
So today is Saturday, April 16th and I am finally starting to get the feeling that spring has sprung. The red raspberries and blueberries are coming into leaf, the strawberries are starting to form their first blossoms, and my first plantings of spinach and carrots are starting to show themselves. It's a few weeks later than normal, but our peas are finally reaching for the sky. Yeah! It doesn't matter what the almanac says or the date on the calendar. It just doesn't seem like spring until I start to see the garden wake and stretch in the sun.Life is good.

Wahoo! It's about time, I say.
ReplyDeleteI saw my first groundhog the other day. Luckily, it was about 4 miles from our farm. My veggies are safe.
It sure feels that it has taken it's time! As for the groundhog, it's because of groundhogs that I first fenced our back yard. I never knew, until I watched for myself in disbelief, that a groundhog would climb up into a raised bed and pull down my tomato plants to eat every last one! It's the only creature I know that can really get my blood pressure up! I would share, but they don't share. They take every last morsel.
ReplyDeleteI hope 4 miles is far enough away for your veggies!
